DialWatt will be the 18th edition of the SemDial workshop series, which aims to bring together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue in fields such as formal semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience.

In 2014, the workshop will be hosted by the Interaction Lab (https://sites.google.com/site/hwinteractionlab/), Heriot-Watt University. DialWatt will be collocated with RO-MAN 2014 (http://rehabilitationrobotics.net/ro-man14/).The summer school in Psychological and Computational Models of Language Production (http://homepages.abdn.ac.uk/k.vdeemter/pages/RefNet/index.html) and the world famous Edinburgh festival take place just before DialWatt.
